According to the patients husband, two hours prior to admission, around 2:00am, he arrived at home and when he was about to enter their room on the first
floor of their two story house, he heard his wife moaning and he saw Glenda on floor at sitting position and had already vomited and urinated. He asked Glenda of
what happened but she cannot speak clearly, she cannot even stand alone. He called his daughter on the second floor to ask for help. They just thought that Glenda
had hypoglycemic attack without checking her blood glucose level and so they had Glenda drank a half cup of Milo with two table spoons of sugar as an emergency
management. Then, they borrowed a tricycle from their neighbor and went to Ospital ng Palawan for medical help. They arrived at Ospital ng Palawan emergency
room around 4:00 am. A blood test was done and so they found out that the patient didnt experienced hypoglycemia but a hyperglycemia with a blood glucose level
of 206 mg/dL. Then, she was admitted in the female medical ward.
